Chapter 873: Young Noble Feng
Chapter 873: Young Noble Feng
Feiyun had a hard time calming down after leaving Long Luofu’s place. It was a strange feeling on top of added responsibility.
Dongfang Jingyue stood near a pond and watched him depart until he disappeared from sight.
It’s not that he didn’t see her; he just purposely chose to feign ignorance.
***
Two massive doves arrived at the battle palace. They spanned for several dozen meters; their plumes were on fire. Their beak looked like a divine hook; their claws flashed with a terrifying glint.
Twenty or so old cultivators stood on their back. The group landed on the ground and intimidated those nearby. They entered the battle palace.
“Feng Feiyun, do you think we, the Li, can’t catch you because you’re hiding in the battle palace?” A gray-haired old man wielding an iron spear spoke with a resounding voice.
He had lived for more than a thousand years yet still had a hot-headed temperament.
Feiyun came out and stared at this unfriendly group. He smiled: “Hiding? I’m standing right here.”
“Haha, brat, at least you’re courageous.” There were eight ancestors from the Li present and ten top generals.
They were from the same branch as Li Tianer, clearly coming here to capture Feiyun.
The workers in the battle palace immediately reported this to two higher-ranking members. The two stood in the distance and didn’t interfere right away.
“Miss Lan, you’re here just in time, these people from the Li want to cause trouble, clearly not giving a damn about the battle palace. What should be done about this?” Feiyun noticed Lan Wanjing standing nearby and pulled her in front of him.
He wasn’t afraid of these elders but preferred to let the battle palace deal with this instead.
Lan Wanjing had a green dress covering her jade skin, long legs, and ample breasts. She had no idea why Feiyun dragged her into this mess.
The Li elders thought that Feiyun was afraid. They had a cruel smile on their face as one said: “It’s too late to be afraid, why weren’t you afraid when you killed our clan members?”
The Li wasn’t afraid of the battle palace interfering since it didn’t interfere with the Meng. This showed that this place wouldn’t stand up against an ancient clan for the sake of a half-demon.
“Haha, Feng Feiyun, you killed my grandson. I will cut you to pieces.” An old man with a red complexion stood in front of Lan Wanjing, ready to kill Feiyun.
He summoned two thunder dragons with his skinny hands and instantly aimed for Feiyun’s head.
He was quite strong - a cultivator at third-level Nirvana.
The Li knew that Feiyun was powerful so they brought capable cultivators in order to kill him and establish their prestige.
“Your clan is quite bold to cause trouble here.” Lan Wanjing knew that Feiyun had a special status so she must protect him.
She took out a badge to activate the formations in the area, successfully stopping that elder.
“Manager Lan, I am quite close with your Elder Xu. Don’t interfere or it won’t be beneficial for you.” The elder said. He put on blue armor and wielded a spirit staff before moving on to destroy numerous formations.
Feiyun stood there calmly with his hands crossed in front of his chest, hiding behind Lan Wanjing. He whispered in her ear: “Manager, he’s threatening you right now.”
Lan Wanjing was naturally capable in order to be a manager at her relatively young age. She wasn’t afraid of this elder and wanted to join the fray.
However, the two observers from the palace finally arrived. The one in front wore a black robe. He shouted: “The Li Clan is truly arrogant, you dare to be haughty at the battle palace?!”
“Elder Xu, remember our friends-” An elder from the Li said.
“Bah! We’re not friends!” Elder Xu immediately attacked with purple bolts, sending the elder flying.
He vomited blood in the air before smashing and rolling on the ground.
“Worst of all, you have offended the venerable Young Noble Li, you must be tired of living. Men, beat them up!”
Armored warriors emerged with murderous intent - a total of fifty cultivators at the Nirvana realm. They were the guards of this place and have trained at the Myriad-race Battlefield before.
They didn’t hold back; each punch could crush a mountain.
“Rumble!” The elders and prodigies of the Li were so aggressive at the start. Now, they were crawling on the ground, battered.
The prestigious elders’ faces were swollen; blood and teeth came out of their mouth.
They had no idea why a half-demon became “the venerable Young Noble Feng.”
Other cultivators nearby were confused as well. The Li was a top clan in Season, stronger than the Meng. Now, they have been subdued and didn’t dare to resist.
The battle palace was clearly protecting Feng Feiyun. Two elders here have arrived as well.
There must be something else to this event. This half-demon had ties with the battle palace now and could do whatever he wanted in Season.
This news spread across the domain. It caused quite a stir at the half-demon alliance as well.
The cultivators from the Li were near death before being thrown out. Some lost their limbs, no longer having the energy to even moan.
“Whoosh!” A portal manifested in the air.
A group of cultivators wearing golden-inlaid robes came out and landed in front of the battle palace.
The leader looked dignified, around forty years of age. He had a mustache, looking more imposing than some kings.
He was the clan master of the Li. Behind him were three ancestors from this clan.
They had people working in the battle palace and knew that Feiyun’s actual background was considerable - enough to call an envoy from War Faction “brother”.
The upper echelon was shocked and immediately knew that they could be the next Meng. Thus, the clan master himself came to apologize.
“We’re a large clan in Season yet our member, Li Tianer, is a wretched bastard. This is a true tragedy. Fortunately, Young Noble Feng helped us get rid of this vermin. Such a noble deed.” The clan master’s name was Li Hong.
He cupped his fist towards Feng Feiyun and treated him as an equal.
“No need to be so polite.” Feiyun laughed and said: “However, Li Tianer dared to offend Envoy Dongfang from War Faction. If this news were to spread, I’m afraid War Faction might escalate the issue.”
“What?! Li Tianer dared to do this?!” An elder from the battle palace became murderous.
Li Hong and the three ancestors were horrified. This could be terrible - the Meng was the best example.
It used to be a glorious clan but since it offended the young lord of Firmaments, it ceased to exist.
War Faction was actually several times more terrifying. It could erase the Li just to re-establish its unquestionable authority.
Li Hong was powerful and composed. However, he started sweating. He naturally knew that the matter wasn’t that serious. Li Tianer only stopped Dongfang Jingyue’s path and didn’t do anything beyond that before being killed by Feng Feiyun.
Nonetheless, if Feng Feiyun wanted to deal with them, a disaster would still come.
“I heard you are close to Envoy Dongfang, please put in a few good words for us.” Li Hong gave Feng Feiyun a boundary stone.
Feiyun checked the content and saw the treasures. ‘This ancient clan is quite generous, not bad at all.’
He put it away and smiled: “I will go talk to her but I can’t guarantee anything.”
He didn’t want to make a big deal out of this anyway. Dongfang Jingyue cared about face while this implied that Li Tianer had done something unsavory to her. She would actually try to kill Feng Feiyun for spreading this rumor.
Li Hong and the three ancestors heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Feiyun’s acceptance.
The two elders from the battle palace felt the same relief. The one with the last name Xu came up and smiled: “We’re having a banquet tonight. Young Noble Feng, please come try our 3,000-year-old Jade-rose Wine. There will be other entertainment programs as well.”
Feiyun wanted to refuse since he had other important matters to take care of. He needed to return to the alliance and leave for the main branch in Crimson Territory.
“Young Noble Feng, you must come. Wanjing, you’ll serve wine to the young noble tonight. Clan Master Li, do you wish to join as well?” Elder Xu invited.
“It will be our honor.” Li Hong was ecstatic, aware that Elder Xu was giving them a chance to drop the feud with the banquet tonight.
